Our Support Workers are available to support you personally, or as a family or whānau, for as long as you need us.

Victim Support is here for all people affected by crime, trauma, and suicide in New Zealand including:

  • people directly affected by a crime, incident or trauma

  • members of their family or whānau

  • witnesses of an incident or the first person on the scene (discovers)

  • support persons assisting a friend or family or whānau member through the justice process

You don’t need to report a crime or incident to police to receive our help, and our service is available free of charge.
